Keep your eyes closed and think pleasant thoughts. This way, it’ll be over before you know it.
Usually not, they are like a large doughnut and not as confining as an MRI is. Also very fast now, done before you know it. I am very claustrophobic and CT does not even make me think about it. MRI is different, some need sedation.
